in the end, joe biden has a very visible role in the administration. he has four years to prove himself. he is in charge of gun control and going to be the closer on economic issues. i don't think there is any sense that joe biden how big downgraded as a result of this interview. it's clear the president wanted to thank hillary krint on and he did in a big way. >> you sat down with the vice president. what did he himself have to say about the future? >> i asked him whether he was ready to run against hillary clinton in 2016. take a look. >> i haven't made that judgment. hillary has not made that judgment. i tell you what. everything that should be done over the next two years that i should be part of would have to be done whether i run or don't run. if this administration is successful, whoever is running as a democrat is in a better position to make. if we are not, whoever runs as a nominee will be less likely to win. >> that's kind of a non-answer answer. i have to believe that if hillary clinton were to decide to run, i don't think joe biden would.

two weeks ago when i was on your show after my meeting at the white house with vice president biden, i said i thought we had a conversation and heard each other. in fact, earlier this week, the white house informed me they are putting $50 million into the niban budgetet for atf. national information ballistic information network. that goes against criminals, solves crimes, that's the kind of stuff we need to do in this country. effective things on criminals. >> the same report found, page 97, that the studies contrasting different kinds of attacks, more overall gun violence, when you look at assault weapons, more persons wound ed. this is the type of weapon you grab when you want to do a massacre of people. why would you ban something that showed a 17% drop in the study which no one disputes the study? >> well, that's -- there are other studies that show that nothing significant occurred during that period. and crime rates in general going down during that period. and, again, the focus has to be on in the hands of the gun. if i don't use one of those guns, i can use a different gun.
